In 2008 the words "Change" became a slogan rather than just a vague verb. As our nation moved ever so gratefully away from George W Bush, we became enamored with a candidate that seemed to be from the future. As this man climbed the top of the poles higher, his goal of becoming the first Black American leader of the (formerly) most powerful country in the world was quickly taking shape. Barack Obama was and is this man and regardless of what many thought would happen, he was never assassinated, never once declared slavery to Whites, and still has yet to ruin our country like many were scared would happen...
But don't tell that to his opponents; they're still selling kool-aid to
their constituency. (actually suicide mixers done by religious cults
were made with Flavor-aid, but forgive me for doing a
little more homework). So when I drive on my way to work, why does my
head nearly shake off its stump when I see the sticker that reads: I
didn't drink the Kool-Aid in 2008?
And yet Obama still won, I think you should ask for a refund.
Talk about sore losers; Obama wins fair and square and a mass suicide seemed to be on Rush Limbaugh's mind. It seems like proof that those who accepted the win and wished him the best were better off dead as far as Douche Limbaugh was concerned. We do know for a fact that Rush's excessive addiction to pills would render him immune to a poisonous cup of go-to-sleep-forever, which adds greater emphasis on his blackened and negative heart.
Here is another gem that conjures a knee-jerk "no fucking way" reaction: The bumper sticker displaying Bush's face accompanied by a caption reading: "Do you miss me yet?".
No, Bush. Stay in Texas. Forever.
Okay, let me think on the 8 year portfolio of Bush.
9th grade level public speeches The war in Iraq Torture Recession Jobs lost Raising Anti Gay Bigotry Darth Cheney Gas prices hikes Etc ... you know the rest. C'mon people, it wasn't THAT long ago.
Regardless of whether or not these things were Bush's fault or not (I blame more his following for all those things), these are not things that I am missing. However much this bumper sticker printer made in profit is irrelevant, it was money made off of idiots looking to willingly deface their Hummers. I would hope that no matter what side of the fence you stand on, this question of missing the dumbest commander and chief in our nation's history could be the ultimate test of one's memory.
Oh and my answer is, of course, No.
No politician gives a shit about your car, pickup truck, or SUV and a thin layer of resin pasting a blind faith message of what you believe isn't going to matter when shit really goes wrong. Did our founding fathers use wheat paste and hemp paper to proudly display it's independence on horse carts? No, they didn't because they were ballsy and such displays of support are fucking stupid and will be no matter what age. Actions speak more loudly, as we all know. Although Thomas Jefferson might have liked the sticker that reads: Once ye goes black, ye never goes back.
(No offense to my only 1 black reader of this entry, but that's funny and you know it!)
The Obama bumper sticker removal kit:
Perfect for undecided, flip-flopping pussies!
As the term of Obama has rolled on, his bumper stickers have been getting harder to find. This is due to the amazingly high level of cowardice that dumb people have when they felt like all the good things that were supposed to happen under Obama didn't happen immediately. Sharper cookies know that change isn't something that happens quickly and the sticker on your car doesn't usher it, there must be real action. There also needs to be fewer Republicans on capital hill blocking every proposal. If you seriously removed your bumper sticker due to pure embarrassment, then remove your balls as well.
Hot Air: An examination of the conservative radio pundit.
Do you know why AM radio was invented? Do people even listen to the AM frequency of radio anymore? Of course, we all know that people still do but on the one setting that barely is clear most of the time, a movement against free thinking America has brewed and is now out of control. This new and first entry to American Opiate might only talk of one all-talk and no action jackass, but the point of the entry can be extended to all of them.
Rush Limbaugh: A notable and well known pundit that has made a career of putting his opinion on the air waves for over 2 decades. First glances he may appear to be your typical run of the mill fat-ass loudmouth and you would be right. The best part about unbearable conservatives, one can totally judge a book by its cover (example being Ann Coulter totally looking like a bitch and acting the look perfectly), no one embodies the symbol and appearance of the overpaid, overfed, no working, criminal for a profit stereotype quite like him.
His contributions to the right have been more than just shaking the hive of already pissed off Americans that don't make nearly as much financially as he does, he also has spawned other imitators like the aforementioned Coulter. Meanwhile, he laughs his way to the bank while Americans buy his books, listen to his show, or do whatever his bidding may be while their own lives continue to circle the drain. Big businesses sponsor his show and it doesn't matter to him whether the product matters to him or not. Its like listening to an abusive husband read the paper for the Sleep Number bed he got for free.
I would hope that most of the American public is aware that this guy, Limbaugh, isn't for real. He isn't a good conservative nor a good American. He has lied to his followers that religiously listen to his Excellence in Broadcasting show by being completely hypocritical to everything he says. This first entry to American Opiate is here to serve the reader by reminding you that many of these pundit heroes (mainly conservative) don't care about the crumbling state of the union, they just want your money. I'm not here to be a pundit hero; I am here to ask the question of whether or not we should put our country into the hands of people that hate freedom and love rules instead.
Rush has an entire executive profile of hypocritical sins that he would totally toast a liberal for without forethought. It seems he follows the Richard Nixon way of life in that if HE does something bad than its not illegal. The worst of it, his loyal listeners just take it and never make him answer for these crimes.
Let me paint you a picture: You: an average Joe Plumber, Joe Sixpack, or Joe Whatever-else-you-do-on-sunday-besides-beat-your-kid, illegally obtain oxycontin pain pills and you have an uncontrollable addiction to them, you're sick and have a problem. This is a case of similar proportions to being a heroin addict or a crack whore; you are under the influence of a drug and you cannot kick it on your own. You don't deserve jail time just for buying and doing the drugs, you need to be rehabilitated because you are killing yourself. Suicidal people get similar treatment, stand at the ledge of a building and you'll see. But don't tell that to Rush, he'll make an entire broadcast about how you need to be shipped away or thrown in jail, perhaps even sent out of the country. If you don't want to believe me or don't remember because you are still a member of his herd- read on:
"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug
use, too many whites are getting away with drug sales, too many whites
are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this
disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not
putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out
and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send
them up the river, too" (Oct. 5, 1995, The Rush Limbaugh Show
transcript).
Rush, stick to your guns or give the people who paid you their money back.
The Limbaugh argument for stricter drug laws became totally void in 2003 when he announced that he was being sent off to rehab for being a pillhead. It gets worse. His housekeeper was helping him by exchanging cigar boxes full of cash for cigar boxes full of pills. I guess in the world of rich-dick conservatives, this is like blowing guys behind dumpsters for crack rocks.
If there is another thing that Rush is most notable for it is talking shit and then apologizing. This isn't of course because he regrets saying what he said, its because he doesn't want to lose sponsors. He apologized for calling Sandra Fluke a "Slut" on live radio when she made the argument for contraception. When the shit hit the fan , he pulled back and said he was sorry. It is obvious that he wasn't really sorry, but when money is on the line there is no integrity to his mantra and the almighty dollar is all the God this man needs.
In 2008 Barack Obama became the first Black America President and this made him upset. Upset enough to conjure rumors of Obama's birthplace and agenda. Since Rush is living high on the hog, he fears the higher taxes he may have to pay that he can easily afford. He ruined McCain's chances of course by not helping the campaign against Barack and kept his conspiracies to himself while Obama won the election. With the newly elected president, Rush went right to work in stirring the ant bed of angry people. This means more listeners, a longer time on air, and more ka-ching! Typical business ethics of a money hungry businessman and not a of a good American.
Behold! The face of a fail.
His values don't seem to add up with all the talk. He will, of course, continue his war path and thanks to the millions that people pay him his heart will keep on ticking until something else kills him. He was very quick to throw Obama's healthcare plan under the bus after his heart gave out and his deep pockets paid for the whole treatment with no delay or red tape.
You'll never read this but its worth telling you anyways...
Yes Rush, your heart might be in the clear but I doubt the people who listen to you can be so fortunate. Maybe you should support Obamacare just a little more since the longer those people live, the more you can hobble to the bank.
